How a legal battle in Galveston County may change the way Texas history is taught

J.P. Bryan views the hand carved mother-of-pearl with tortoise shell chest supposed to have held a grant for land in California dates to the mid to late 1700s at The Bryan Museum on Thursday, March 26, 2015, in Galveston. An ongoing legal battle playing out in Galveston County courts over the makeup of the Texas State Historical Association board could have a bearing on how the state's history is taught and ultimately remembered, according to all parties involved in the case.

"The only reason seeks injunctive relief is because he believes the TSHA board of directors will vote to remove him as executive director at its next meeting," attorneys for the defendants asserted in court filings. Attorneys for Baker and the association went into more detail in a flurry of court filings regarding the stakes of the legal battle. The May 30 hearing was originally set for Monday, but attorneys for the defendants requested a continuance because Jones was diagnosed with COVID-19, according to the filings. On the same day attorneys requested a continuance, they also filed a motion to move the case to Travis County along with a motion to show authority and a plea to the jurisdiction.

Despite open criticism of Buenger’s version of history, Bryan said his goal wasn’t to silence opposition, only to keep the conversation balanced.
